The problem
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Freightliner Business Class M2 and Freightliner 108SD vehicles equipped with Meritor MX 120 EVO Front Drive Steer axles. The axles may have insufficient lubrication, which may result in damage to the wheel end bearings.
The risk
If the bearings are damaged, the wheel may separate and cause a sudden loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of crash.
The fix
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the wheel end components, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began May 12, 2020. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-846.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
